FAQs

What is the purpose of the embedFarmId?

The embedFarmId is used to establish a link between DAS and the web portal that embeds the map component. For existing farms, it enables the retrieval of existing boundaries and the updating of changes when modified.

Who should supply the embedFarmId value?

As the embedFarmId is used to retrieve and update farms, it should be handled directly by the integrator, not the final client. We recommend using strings formed with UUID or hashed values. This makes it harder to manipulate data in case of any malicious use.

Can the embedFarmId be retrieved after farm creation?

Yes, it will be available through the save event callback. Also, after a farm is created or updated, DAS triggers an API call to an endpoint on the integrator side to push the internal DAS farm ID.

The API call will include the embedFarmId used when the farm was originally created.

Can I use my internal CRM embedFarmId?

Yes, the DAS Embed Map Component will keep track of any unique embedFarmId supplied and maintain a relationship with the DAS farm ID.
